I find it funny some people being dismissive of what they built to defend the AI startups

"Some JavaScript and a DB" is a web service. It does stuff. Sure if it's small or a basic crud then the moat is small

But if I can replace the value proposition of a startup with "open chatgpt and type a short prompt" then there's not much value in it right. Maybe if there's value in the surrounding services.

If the business is literally just sending data to GPT and outputting the response then sure, but I've not seen any businesses trying that yet. Pretty much everything I've seen to date is "A CRUD app with GPT to fill in blank data". That's automatically more valuable than just a CRUD app.
